words introduce a character and story that immediately capture the reader’s eagerness to know more. “It was a big squarish frame house that had once been white… Only Miss Emily’s house was left” (Faulkner 91). This first description of Emily’s home is our first look at the world she loves in. Throughout “A Rose for Emily” Faulkner uses many facets of the happenings in Emily’s life and history to reveal more about her. Faulkner uses intricate forms of symbolism to quietly tell us about his main…

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and understanding the literary work, Our Town by Thornton Wilder. The play begins in 1901 by illustrating the simple lives of ordinary people in Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire.

The style and diction used by Jackson to create a familiar and comforting setting and tone in her tale of senseless violence both brings the violence of human nature closer to home and reveals the darker nature of tradition,…
As the Stage Manager in Our Town said, “Life goes on.” This quotation reveals that everything has a beginning and an ending. The play by Thornton Wilder, and Sounder by William H. Armstrong, contain three perfect examples of people who had survived as their loved ones passed away. These character examples are the boy from the novel Sounder, and George and Editor Webb from the play. The boy lost his father, and his dog. George lost his wife, Emily, and his mother, Mrs. Gibbs. Finally Editor Webb…
would build an industrial park complex. Depending on how big the complex is, it could create many new businesses in our community. Most likely, it would start out small and grow!
